Sunday's Chimpcasting Radio Show!!! Now with 120% more sex for your pleasure!


powered by ODEO


Chimp, Arty, Ruthie, Joanie, and myself. I get so drunk that I know my voice gets pretty slurred at the end. I've got about a 6-pack in me before the show even starts. It really goes downhill about 2 hours in due to alcohol consumption.

WARNING! The broadcast does contain adult content and language, some of which is not safe for children or work.

A link, a rant, and a mixtape.


Forgot to TiVo your favorite show? This site has a few choices now, but all the shows and movies can be watched in your browser using the same video software as YouTube or Google Video. Slea just caught the new episode of Lost today. She said it was fair quality. I've been watching old episodes of Futurama with Roto.

So, I'm sure that you can tell by Slea's complaining that I've been busy. I've easily been putting in 60-80 hour weeks. But, if I didn't like it, I wouldn't do it. But all this work has gotten me to thinking lately about my dad. He was a grocery store manager for as long as I could remember. He would work long hours, usually 6 days a week, just to get food on our table. We weren't poor, but definitely not rich. My mom made bread all the time, and some of our frequent meals were SOS and scrapple. She also worked (when they were still married) a series of odd jobs throughout her "career". But what I remember most about my dad was him working a lot. He never really got involved much in my life until I was in high school. I think it was mostly because I failed at sports, but that may not be the case. Now, I haven't spoken to him in probably 9 years. There's no anger or hate, but really there's nothing. And it's kind of sad. But now that I'm older and a father, I'm beginning to see why he was like that. I tend to judge my self worth by my job. It's a poor way of doing it, but I feel like shit when I'm not working and earning for my family. I want to make sure they're well off. I want them to never want for anything, and that's why I keep my "real" job at RRD. But there's a part of me that wants to do what I want, and that's be an EMT. Unfortunately, it may as well be volunteer, as little as it pays. It's a tough call, because I want to be with my family, but I find that because of my "real" job that I'm totally stressed and have a short temper for even the smallest things. I don't want to be like that around my kids, so being out and away makes it easier for me to avoid lashing out when I'm stressed. Getting back to my dad, I'm sure that's how he was too. His job was similar to mine now, lots of responsibility, accountability for production and your crew, and having to be in charge of and rely on a bunch of potheads who are too lazy to keep themselves clean enough to keep a job in fast food (I shouldn't say that, I like my crew that I work with, and they're not all potheads). It's stressful, but that's what I get for not finishing college. I'm sure that's what he went through too.

Anyway, I promised a mixtape, so here it is. Just in time for Halloween, a mix of robots, serial killers, ghosts, werewolves, zombies, and sweet tranvestites for your listening pleasure. And Morrissey. But I digress, here's the track listing for the tape. The tracks aren't tagged well, so they might not show up with proper names in iTunes, WinAMP, or other media players, but it's free so deal with it. And at right around 72 minutes, it should fit nicely onto a CD-R for easy portability.
